'Love in Limbo is a technicolour tour around the teenage libido as it was in 1957, when sex was still a dirty word. Set to the Rhythm and Blues tunes of the unrequited love and designed for maximum impact, the film plans with the icons of the era, and the social mores of the day.

'Ken Riddle, 16 to whom sex is a mystery, joins his two mates from work on a trip to Kalgoorlie's infamous red light street, a fumbling attempt to collectively lose their virginity.

'Coincidentally, his glamorous widowed mother Gwen, a talented dress designer, sets out on her own wobbly journey, to a new romance - and a new career - on stiletto heels.

'Puffing on Lucky Strikes lit by Zippos, driving Studebakers adorned with tailfins, all the while shaking, rattling and rolling, the characters in Love In Limbo are innocent of greed, unaware of the world's looming crises, free of flower power and safe from sex. But they do want to fall out of limbo and into love.'
